For the first 18 holes, he recorded a total of six birdies and an eagle.

He then scored 74, 68, 72 on the subsequent three rounds that followed.

On the final day, Indiza recovered from an early double-six at the fourth, and four other single bogeys, to level the Karen course for an all rounds total of eight under par 280, an impressive score, just a week before the Sunshine Tour sanctioned Karen Masters.

He had birdied the long par five-second hole and picked up three more birdies at the back nine’s 10th, 12th and 17th holes.

On the other hand, Wakhu – who has been enjoying an impressive form lately – followed a first hole birdie with an eagle three at the third hole though he lost the event after picking up a double-bogey at the notorious par four-sixth hole having also dropped one shot at the fourth.
